Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 284 She’s Mine
The atmosphere was lively.
“What? Mr. George?” Carl thought to himself, this is bad.
Isabelle glanced up at him and said, “Oh, you have made it.”
George walked over and said, “Yeah.”

Arlo quickly nodded to George. Carl had nothing else to do, and he stood up to greet him, saying, “Mr. George, it’s been a while.”
George placed the thermos on the table and sat down on the sofa. He replied, “Indeed, it has been a while.”
Carl glanced at the thermos, then at George, who seemed very comfortable and familiar with the place. He realized his dream of having Isabelle as his daughter–in–law was slipping away.
George asked, “Is General Sarratt here for a medical visit? Are you sick? At your age, you should take care of your health.”
Looking at George, who exuded a powerful and intimidating aura, Carl thought, this is really bad.
“I’m fine. I’m here with Instructor Dittman.”
George glanced at Percy, who had just walked over. He asked, “You’re all here for Instructor Dittman?” He quietly eyed Percy’s military uniform.
Was it a last–minute decision, or did this guy purposely show up in uniform?
Carl replied, “Not just that. I heard that Isabelle has extraordinary medical skills, so I thought it would be good for the young ones to make friends.”
George nodded slightly and said, “Understandable. Isabelle is indeed exceptional. But does the Major General, who spends most of his time in the military, have time to make friends? He stared at Percy.
Percy replied, “I have few friends, but I can manage one or two.”
George then asked, “Have you made any?”
Compared to Percy, George thought Isabelle would prefer to be friends with someone of Carl’s rank. Given his understanding of Isabelle, she valued people with more influence.
He remembered the time during military training when Carl wanted to introduce Percy to Isabelle.
Percy remained silent.
How could he answer such a sharp question? Clearly, he hadn’t made any progress. With George’s confident demeanor, Percy realized his father had done something foolish.
Dylan thought, Mr. George’s skills were getting more refined. He handles situations with ease and confidence, expertly dealing with these love/rivals.
George had to accept Yves and Jim’s close relationship with Isabelle and watch them banter.

But Percy? He was insignificant.
Carl tried to smooth things over. He said, “It’ll take time. No rush.”

Either out of respect for Carl or simply not caring, George looked at Isabelle and asked gently, “What’s his
condition?”
Isabelle briefly explained.
George asked, “How much longer will the treatment last?”
Isabelle replied. “Almost done–did you go on a trip recently?” She suddenly asked,
George had messaged her a few days ago, saying he had to go on a trip.
“Yes, I went to Lutril.” He paused and said, “To get you a birthday present.” He had intended it to be a surprise, but now he had mentioned it.
Oh well, even if he informed her on her birthday, there was no guarantee that she would be pleasantly surprised.
Isabelle raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. She asked, “My birthday?”
George said, “It’s sometime in March anyway.”
Isabelle thought. Not necessarily.
March 8th was the day William found her, but Isabelle’s actual birthday was a few days earlier. Blood Shadow never celebrated her own birthday, and she didn’t care much for it.
Isabelle asked, “What did you get me?”
George replied, “I built you a vineyard.”
Isabelle muttered to herself, “Another vineyard.”
George asked, “Hmm? Don’t you like it?”
Did she already have a vineyard?
Isabelle looked at him and asked, “Do you really want to know?”
George hesitated. It probably wasn’t what he wanted to hear, but he was curious.
“Yes, I do.”
Isabelle glanced at the others in the living room.
She said, “I’ll tell you after this.”
